Glycosphingolipids: Live Borrelia burgdorferi binds to to galactocerebroside,
lactosylceramide, and ceramide trihexoside and to the disialoganglioside
GD1a and the trisialoganglioside GT1b but not to gangliosides GM1,
GD1b, GM2, and GM3 and not to asialo GM1 Backenson

Purines: The spirochete lacks the enzymes required for de novo
synthesis of purines and depends on host purines and pyrimidines
for DNA and RNA synthesis: It encodes transporters for hypoxanthine,
adenine, and guanine Jain

TACR1 tachykinin receptor 1 (expressed on microglia) : elevations
in inflammatory cytokine production and decreases in the production
of an immunosuppressive cytokine, in response to Neisseria meningitidis
or Borrelia burgdorferi are attenuated in mice genetically deficient
in the expression of the TACR1 or in mice treated with a specific
TACR1antagonist Chauhan
